State of the Boy

[melo_annechen]

Well, despite my misgivings, and though it looked as if I might kill him beforehand, Hyperactive Lad made it to another birthday yesterday. We celebrated by going to the rat house for dinner. Hm, more accurate to say *HE* celebrated, and his parents endured the experience. Ghawdaful horrendous covers of songs that had nothing to recommend them in the first place played at atrocious volume to compete with the over clocked games... I sound so old.

He actually commented earlier in the month: "I got one more year until I can get on the Teen Grid, right?" Yup, homework is going to be a bigger struggle next year.

I love the iPod, because today I have had Handel, followed in quick sucession by the Polecats, the Edgar Winter Group, Shriekback, Tom Jones, Offenbach, Rush, Max Raabe and Dave Brubeck. I can't wait for summer, when I can plug it into the car's sound system with the windows down. Aural whiplash, anyone?

I was the designated second at a Upchuck Cheese b-day child's party some years back. The best thing is they had a beer license. The only thing that stopped a mass rampage of psycotic adults at a kids party was the beer license.

(I think I fixed my notifications, but only after you posted this one which I missed clean.)

Heeheehee. Myfi says Cefin is faaaascinated by what she's doing when she's in-world. I dunno, maybe it'll be good leverage or something on both of them. Myfi also said something about how the different format of communication - actually, Torley said this, too, about kirself - would be an improvement with The Boy's particular challenges.

Can avvies cross from the regular grid to Teen Grid? I mean, can we visit or what? If we can, Boys have just acquired a pod of aunties, haven't they, muahahaha.

They don't realize they will have DOZENS of aunties and uncles WATCHING them once they get on the main grid...

muahahahahahaaaaaaa.
